It’s NOT a purse!
THE MAN BAG
Made popular by Jack Bauer in season 5 of 24, this versatile accessory is a must have for all men on the go.
Though roundly ridiculed and laughed at, The Man Bag is as functional as it is stylish. Ofter called a “messenger bag,” The Man Bag gives men the opportunity to carry their daily necessities and important belongings in an over-the-shoulder fashion that up until now, only women enjoyed.
Whether its today’s Wall Street Journal to read on your 
morning commute or sophisticated weaponry to save the world, The Man Bag is an absolute must for today’s man.
So, everyone, ignore the finger pointing and obnoxious snickering, and forget for a moment that your buddies are questioning your sexuality and join me in a hearty Dr. Blogstein salute of The Man Bag.

*Snicker*
My ex husband has a ManBag. He wears it with his Mandals. And he took much longer than I did to do his hair. Which is probably not a problem now since he is losing it on a daily basis

Right on doc, I consider manbags a utilitarian necessity. Mine is large enough to hold a belt sander, a tire iron and the econo-keg of personal lubricant that I never leave home without.

Yeah, I have joined the man bag club. Just impossible to not have one when you don’t have a car.
January 28th, 2007 at 6:35 pm
That’s right, men, EMBRACE IT!
Starr: Your anti-man sentiment is not appreciated! You get a pass though because you’re talking about your ex-husband who is probably scum.

Lord Alfred Hayes used to say that at the end of each WWF show, right!?
A REAL man can wear a purse and be very secure in his masculinity! I salute the Man Bag!

Must you respond to a comment on your blog in the comment section of mine? You know my readers are easily confused!
oh, and, it’s NOT a PURSE!!!
January 28th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
You think a lot of your readers!
Oh right, not a purse a “BAG” sorry boys didn’t mean to confuse the two!
Jack Bauer is a real metrosexual, woohoo!

It’s not really anti- man, it’s anti a certain type of main. Like the ex. He’s scum
Mostly though he is a poseur. You know the scary old guy hanging out at a club wearing a Member’s Only jacket? That is gonna be him in about 5 year.

Funny, I thought the man bag was where babies come from…kind of.

Michael C: But then where do the birds and bees come in?
Bobby: What if your traffic goes down without my name on your front page?
Adam: I like it! The Jack Sack. Clever, functional AND stylish!

Yeah, the man bag is a must have for a real man… I think I need to share this tip on my blog about finding great men! LOL!
January 29th, 2007 at 4:56 am
Doc, I like the Jack with Man Bag pics you added, cool!
January 29th, 2007 at 11:59 am
A friend of mine has recently started to soften up his pimp-style with a manbag. I think it shows maturity. Or something.
January 29th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
I agree with you, the bag isnice but yet versatile.
January 29th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
For the record – I have a ‘man bag’ and inside you will find everything from a snickers bar, laptop computer, pipe wrench, 9mm Glock handgun, and enough ammunition to fend off a small army.
Those that know me have never made any ill comments towards my manly purse.
I laughed at your comment to Bobby… That was good.
January 29th, 2007 at 5:55 pm
Jack is trying to spread the message it’s ok for men to fight terrorism and look good doing it. Real good.
January 29th, 2007 at 7:19 pm
meg you’re a triiip girl!
January 29th, 2007 at 7:32 pm
Tonight I will gladly scruntinize my Manly Bag next to Jack’s. I have had mine for over 5 years when people just thought it was cool. Today people think, “what the hell is inside that bag” that’s a cool feeling too!
I thought I would find Tisha over here!
January 29th, 2007 at 8:21 pm
Lol! I love the man bag it’s so sexy and yet functional.
January 29th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Dude the Man Bag rocks. Jack’s has a neverending supply of handguns, semis and grenades. Once, I think he pulled a rocket launcher out of it. There’s nothing to ridicule about that!
January 29th, 2007 at 9:33 pm
I am digging all this Man Bag love! My readers ROCK!
January 29th, 2007 at 9:57 pm
Don’t have a man-bag, but i do have a soft briefcase from LLBean that looks kinda similar…
If Jack can have a man-bag..anyone can.
Looking forward to tonight’s episode.
DOC! I haven’t seen you recently.. Hope all is well.
January 29th, 2007 at 10:42 pm
Damn right! If it’s man enough for Jack Bauer, then it’s definately man enough for the average Joe.
January 29th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
Bondy: I’m always around but you’ve been writing about stuff I know nothing about, like guitars, so I have nothing to contribute. Bring the Friday Sports Page back!
January 30th, 2007 at 1:16 am
Doc: Well.. I would think this Friday… hummm what is Sunday… hummmmmmm AH….

I’ve had a ‘man bag’ for years, only I called it a duffel bag or a sports bag or a gym bag. And here all this time I was hip and with it and didn’t even know it.
January 30th, 2007 at 1:53 am
If you’re using the term “with it”, I’m going to doubt that you are.
January 30th, 2007 at 5:23 am
Hey Jack! Your Man Bag. Don’t leave CTU without it!
January 31st, 2007 at 4:47 pm
I’m glad you all approve of the fashion statement!
It’s actually the #1 selling messenger bag on Amazon.com too. Craziness, I tell you!

That’s where I got mine, Sack.
January 31st, 2007 at 10:23 pm
Oh baby! If that doesn’t bring back my Comment of the Week postings, I don’t know what will!

Dearest Doc:
